DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT?

EDITOR BULLETIN: - As there
have been several communications
in the local papers of late, recon-
mending prohibition of liquors in
the islands, think the public, if
they had access to United States
Government statistics on this ques-
ton, would be convinced that pro-
hibition does not prohibit the sale
of intoXicants, but on the contrary
increases the sale of them. And il
will als) he shown by the same sta.
tistics that prohibition increases
crime instead OF diminishing it, and
is the cause of more pauperism and
a higher rate of taxation in the pro-
hihiton States Of America than
those States where prohibition does
not exist. These are facts and can
be substantiated. FAIR PLAY.
